Collinsworth scored a career-high eight points tonight, adding five assists and two boards. Two nights after Jalen Jones scored 16 and on the same road trip when Jameel Warney made a name for himself and Johnathan Motley returned to action with the NBA squad, Collinsworth became the next young Maverick to put together a nice performance in extended playing time. It’s important that those guys play well when they get on the floor for themselves, of course, but also so the Mavs know what they have in some of their youngest players. Collinsworth is signed to a multi-year deal and Jones and Motley are both on two-way contracts, meaning the club has the power to bring back all three if that’s what the Dallas front office wants to do.
